That is my first question. It is a Mitsubishi Servo Motor # HA-SC43 Serial C71. All the other info on the motor is in Chinese. What can I do with this motor? Can I use it to drive a lathe with variable speeds? Any info would be appricated. Thank you.

You first need an matching driver for the AC servo....probably a matching Mitsubishi AC Servo drive. There may also be special cables you will need if they are not with the motor. Once you have all of that you will need to see what the control signals need to be (digital or analog).In short you may have a high tech boat anchor.

For variable speed drive (unless you want to do encoder feedback for electronic gearing) on a lathe would be better done with a low cost 3P AC motor and a VFD.
